The Two-Year MBA Program at IIMU: At a Glance

At IIMU, the curriculum includes two types of courses skill-based, and knowledge-based. The skill-based courses such as Managerial Oral Communication (MOC), Written Analysis and Communications (WAC), and Spreadsheet Modelling, equip students with the must-have managerial skills, while the knowledge-based courses help them develop profound managerial practices and insights. The knowledge-based courses are further classified as compulsory courses, flexi-core courses, experiential courses, and elective courses, delivered over a period of two years.

Year One

The first year of study equips students with a thorough grounding in management fundamentals. The courses are Skill-building, Foundational, Functional, Integrative, & Perspective-building.

The first year of study is split into three terms. Term-I & Term-II consist of compulsory courses across various foundational and functional management areas. Term-III consists of the flexi-core courses from various management areas, and experiential courses that integrate knowledge and skills thus acquired so far and require out-of-the-box thinking.

Summer Internships

At the end of the three academic Terms of the first year of study, IIMU students undertake a two-month corporate internship with various companies, working on projects and tasks, gaining hands-on experience that aligns with the Institute’s mission of application-oriented learning, allowing students to develop valuable insights of the corporate life. The internship is assessed through a rigorous process, including feedback from corporate mentors and evaluations by IIMU mentors at three key stages: the beginning (work plan development), midpoint (problem identification and resolution), and end (deliverables and achievements evaluation).

Year Two

The second year of study consists of electives across all three terms. The purpose of electives is to equip students with specialized knowledge and skills, tailored to the evolving management landscape, empowering them to effectively lead and innovate.
